Religious Right culture warriors David and Jason Benham published a video Monday in which they claimed “God is speaking” through hurricanes to send a message that America should repent for “breaching the boundaries of God” in regard to gender identity, gay marriage and homosexuality in general.

The Benham brothers posted a Facebook video on the anniversary of 9/11, warning that God had been using recent hurricanes to urge America to repent against its advancement of LGBTQ rights. The duo has previously labeled marriage equality “a mask for Satan,” and has gone so far as to claim that Satan is responsible for the existence of homosexuality.

I feel like if their show would have continued they might have had the opportunity to change their thinking. I mean this is just a theory but since gays are in every avenue of business, i'm assuming they might have had to work with gay men and women on their shows, maybe become friends and even attend a wedding or two. But since they got the axe right off the bat, they and the Christian right that probably surrounded them, fed them the idea that they are the victims, that God's law is being corrupted and all that jazz they spew. So they probably got even more conservative and more prejudice and now there's no way they can ever change their thinking. Now you got this bullshit about hurricanes and repentance. Its one of the main reasons why i don't agree with firing anyone for expressing their point of view. maybe i'm too naive

Has anyone thought to point out to these people who say things like this that those hurricanes all seem to be hitting right-wing, conservative strongholds? Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, and Florida (the conservative west side of Florida too, for that matter). I don't buy into this nonsense that God is punishing anyone, but the fact of location seems to be something these ignorant fools are missing.

These two have nothing better to do than to make up things and stir up trouble like the present president whom I do not acknowledge due to all the lies and falsehoods spread in digital media and interference by the Russians. God does not send storms to his children, in the Old Testament the wrath of God was limited to those who would hurt his people. The laws of man do not hurt or enslave his people they teach people to respect and tolerate and love one another which is what the Bible teaches. What is more important is how the Christian community practices Selective Christianity that ignores many Bible verses that negate their ridiculous conclusions. To live together we must respect one another and love one another and let God deal with punishment for sins if indeed homosexuality is a sin. God created us in his image we are all a part of God.

Well, the God from the Bible promised to send rain in due season based on Gentile observance of the [Leviticus 23] feasts (Zechariah 14), even in Heaven. Jesus said to hang all the law and the prophets on these two: to love God, and your neighbor as yourself. It seems people are missing how to do the first part; their focus is on loving to hate and blame the gays while holding fast to corrupted tradition. God calls that spiritual fornication, just as much adultery as what they're judging; they don't realize they deserve the same judgment. We've all fallen, the point is to get back up and better yourself in light of good things, and hope better for your neighbors in the same way.

It's said that people hide behind a book that was "written" so many years ago when the had no paper. So I ask everyone, what is the true bible, the word of god. it has been translated and rewritten so many times no one really know the true "word". You can bend and story in the bible to fit your own agenda. Now I ask you who is God?, Who is Mohamed? Who is Buddah? etc. they are all love. I am so surprised in this day and age people preach hate rather than love each other as I love you. their lives must be painful that the pain causes then to HATE. Love thy self before you can love others. We live in a world controlled by the media, they spin any story to sensationalize it, all for ratings.

You mean he's sending hurricanes to those nasty hating people .. many people have loss lives and all there things . How could yu even bring something so stupid and transverse . Why don't yu do something more positive and help people instead of posting hate ...

Its global warming and solar flares. Get educated. Why would God punish the innocent, makes no sense. Why give these guys the air time. Also twins research it one is usually gay, they have a higher percntage.

From which hole did these to morons crawl, and can they crawl back in so they can be buried? What a waste of human flesh. Where is their proof? Two more yo-yos who spouting off about something they know nothing about and have to backing to prove it!

Funny how the self righteous never look inward and see that "God's judgement" is being passed on them for their cruelty, hatred, bigotry, and blasphemy... yes blasphemy, because they seem to put themselves in God's places to pass judgement.

You know, maybe they are right. Maybe God is sending Hurricanes as a warning to mankind. But, maybe it has not thing to do with homosexuality, transgenderism, same-sex marriage, abortion, etc. Maybe, just maybe, these are warnings to stop messing up the planet and start replenishing nature. If humanity continues to destroy nature without helping it recover, then this natural disasters are what are going to happen on larger and larger scales. Message received but translation is wrong.

So Boko Haram kidnaps and rapes school girls. North Korea is letting its people go hungry while they build nuclear bombs. Syria is using chemical weapons on its own citizens. But the thing that really makes God angry is gay marriage???? Who the hell wants to worship a divine monster like that? It's no wonder that participation in religion is declining in the U.S. I want nothing to do with the pyschopathic God of the religious right.
